The essential everyday chef' s knife
The Guillaume Leonard Cuistot 20cm chef's knife is a must-have in any well-equipped kitchen. Thanks to its wide, sharp blade, it can be used for a wide variety of tasks: slicing, chopping or mincing meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. Brilliantly versatile, it combines quality materials, high-performance cutting and sober aesthetics. It comes in a storage box, perfect for protection or gift-giving.
A reliable, high-performance blade for precise cutting
This chef's knife features a 20cm blade in German 1.4116 stainless steel. This alloy, enriched with chromium and nitrogen, is renowned for its corrosion resistance and durability. Commonly used in cutlery, this steel offers good sharpness and is easy to maintain.
With a hardness of nearly 56-58 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade retains its edge effectively while remaining easy to sharpen. It is ideal for novice amateur cooks and professionals looking for a reliable knife for everyday use.
The blade's polished finish facilitates cleaning and enhances its sober aesthetic. Its flat edge ensures clean, straight, ambidextrous cutting. The knife is discreetly signed with the Guillaume Leonard logo, a symbol of the care taken in its manufacture.
A comfortable handle designed to last
The chef's knife's handle is made of red sandalwood, a dense, resistant wood that is naturally stable against humidity. Its soft touch and warm hue give the knife a sober, timeless finish.
The rounded Western shape of the palm ensures a comfortable grip, even when cutting for long periods. This ergonomic comfort is enhanced by a stainless steel bolster, which contributes to the knife's balance and protects the hand.
The handle is firmly attached to the tang by three stainless steel rivets, ensuring long-lasting strength.
This knife combines sober design, solid construction and everyday efficiency.
